Cawthorpe seen from Bourne Woods
Image: © Bob Harvey Taken: 4 Jul 2010
Cawthorpe is situated on the edge of a limestone escarpment which runs in a broad arc north through to Lincoln and the Humber estuary. The hamlet is set in rolling countryside some 20 metres (65 feet) at the most above sea level, on the edge of the fens. The woods are on slightly higher ground. The photograph shows the modern buildings south of the Hall, which was once a conference centre and is now a bed and breakfast location. The Roman Road King Street turns off the course of the current A15 few yards outside Bourne, and heads through Cawthorpe on the way to Stainfield, on its alignment toward Ancaster. There are least two other Cawthorpes in Lincolnshire. None of them are of any size.
